De Mercuur

What De Mercuur does

De Mercuur Metal Spinning & Pressing B.V. is a privately held Dutch metal forming manufacturer, founded on October 1, 1952, in Amsterdam, and incorporated as a Dutch B.V. (KvK 33279439). The company produces customer-specific metal industrial semi-manufactured products using five integrated production techniques operated under one roof: metal spinning (forceren), deep drawing (dieptrekken), 3D laser cutting, CNC automatic turning, and (as of 2025) robotic laser welding. It runs one of the largest robotized CNC metal spinning facilities in Europe, with 9 spinning systems and 10 robots that enable unmanned 24/7 production, and manufactures all dies, counter-dies, and spinning tools in-house to support rapid prototyping and cost-efficient setup.

The business operates on a B2B contract-manufacturing model, selling custom-engineered metal components to European industrial customers in end-applications including flue gas systems, HVAC installations, waste processing systems, solar installations, and roof safety. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contracts; the company maintains a dedicated customer portal for repeat clients. Distribution is direct (contact form, phone, email) with regional European delivery, and there are no public pricing tiers or self-service channels. The headcount is approximately 25 direct employees in a flat organizational structure, supplemented by 25+ workers in the SocioPack packaging and assembly sub-brand, which serves both internal needs and third-party outsourced packing/assembly work.

The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, is a member of Koninklijke Metaal Unie, and reports over 70 years of continuous operation, having relocated from central Amsterdam to the Sloterdijk-Westpoort industrial area in 1992 with subsequent facility expansions in 1999 and 2013. Ownership remains private with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or funding events. Production output exceeds 900 customer-specific products and 1.4 million units delivered annually across Europe. No revenue, customer concentration, or named customer data is disclosed in the available sources.

Functional benefit

Brands

• SocioPack: Packaging and assembly department where employees with a distance to the labor market perform less complex and repetitive tasks such as labeling, packing, and assembling.

Products and services

• Forceren (Metal Spinning) Metal spinning production technique that seamlessly and chiplessly deforms metal into round products using a mold, worked with aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel. Delivered via 9 fully robotized CNC metal spinning systems for European industrial customers.
• Dieptrekken (Deep Drawing) Metal pressing technique that enables seamless and chipless deformation of metal into any desired shape using a die and counter-die manufactured in-house. Used to produce metal semi-finished products for industrial customers.
• 3D lasersnijden (3D Laser Cutting) Post-processing technique that enables free-form cutting of parts from spun and/or deep-drawn products, executing multiple coordinated cuts in a single operation without static press tools.
• CNC automatendraaien (CNC Automatic Turning) Production technique where bar material is automatically fed and machined into desired final products, applicable to both metal and plastic and used to integrate turned parts into customer final products.
• Gerobotiseerd laserlassen (Robotic Laser Welding) Service for completing semi-finished products and subassemblies through robotic laser welding, delivering clean welds with narrow bead and minimal heat input and little to no distortion, integrated into the automated production environment.
• SocioPack packaging and assembly Packaging and assembly sub-brand offering labeling, packing, and assembling of metal semi-finished products and accepting outsourced tasks from other companies, employing over 25 workers with distance to the labor market.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• MJC Engineering & Metal Spinning Ltd: UK-based contract metal spinner and former offering overlapping capabilities (spinning, pressing, fabrication) for European industrial customers. Closest direct competitor to De Mercuur in the European spinning/fabrication services niche.
• H. Sheppard & Sons: Long-established UK metal spinning and pressing company serving industrial customers with similar chipless forming services. Comparable in vintage, customer profile, and scope of spinning/pressing work to De Mercuur.
• DENN Metal Forming: Spanish metal forming and deep-drawing specialist serving European industrial OEMs. Operates in the same forming-services category and competes for similar HVAC, automotive, and industrial customers.
• Metal Spinning Company (UK): UK contract metal spinner offering custom spun and pressed components for industrial clients across Europe. Directly comparable service mix and target customer profile to De Mercuur.

Broad incumbents

• Leifeld Metal Spinning: German-based global supplier of metal spinning machinery and a leading technology incumbent in the spinning category. Comparable because it defines the equipment standard De Mercuur's nine CNC spinning systems use, and supplies competing service shops.
• Bystronic Laser: Swiss/German provider of laser cutting and sheet-metal processing machinery. Overlaps with De Mercuur's 3D laser cutting capability at the equipment-supplier layer and competes for downstream customers' laser-cutting budget.
• TRUMPF: German global leader in machine tools, laser technology, and automation. Comparable because it supplies the laser welding and cutting technology platforms that De Mercuur has integrated, and competes for adjacent sheet-metal work.
• Amada Europe: European arm of Amada, a global sheet-metal machinery manufacturer. Overlaps with De Mercuur's deep drawing and laser cutting capability through equipment supply and competes for the same downstream fabricator customers.
